The Right-Bank Campaign of 1674 were the military actions of Moscow and Ukrainian troops under the leadership of the Left-Bank Hetman Ivan Samoilovych and Grigory Romodanovsky against the forces of the Right-Bank Hetman Petro Doroshenko , aimed at spreading royal power to Right-Bank Ukraine.

Background

With the signing of the Buchach Peace Treaty of 1672 a Cossack state on the right bank of the Dnieper was recognised and Moscow sought to extend its influence there. Left-bank hetman Ivan Samoilovych was instructed to negotiate with right-bank hetman Petro Doroshenko for Moscow's protection, but he feared losing his power. Doroshenko was willing to accept Moscow's supremacy under certain conditions, including armed assistance and maintaining Cossack freedoms, but Moscow preferred having separate hetmans for each bank and refused to meet all of Doroshenko’s demands. Over time, Moscow grew frustrated with Doroshenko's insistence on ceding territory for loyalty and, by 1674, felt ready to act against him, especially as support for Doroshenko had weakened among his allies.This lead to Samoilovych, fearing that he would be replaced as hetman by Doroshenko,saw this as a good opportunity to invade Right-Bank Ukraine.
